The Vanishing Violin available 7/31!
The Adventures of the PEAK Dogs series is inspired by real dogs and real school experiences. Vixen, Rebel, and Jed may solve mysteries on the page, but the heart behind their stories comes from PEAK K9s for Kids and our mission to support students through connection, restorative practices, and the steady presence of dogs.
Here you’ll find books, classroom resources, Social-Emotional Learning journals, and updates from the real PEAK Dogs who inspired the series.
Whether you are a reader, parent, teacher, or dog lover, welcome to the pack.
Talent Show Week is supposed to be exciting — music in the halls, students practicing after school, and the PEAK Dogs helping everyone stay calm through the chaos.
But when Mr. Thomas’s special loaned violin disappears from the music room, the whole school is suddenly full of whispers, worry, and suspects.
Vixen knows something is wrong. With her sharp eyes, gentle heart, and the help of her friends Rebel and Jed, she begins following the clues: a trail of cheese crackers, a red thread, a suspicious locker, and one student who seems to be carrying more than just a backpack.
As the mystery deepens, Vixen discovers that solving the case may take more than finding the missing violin. It may take patience, courage, and the kind of honesty that helps people make things right.
Adventures of the PEAK Dogs! The Vanishing Violin is a heartfelt middle-grade mystery about friendship, accountability, second chances, and the dogs who help us find our way back to one another.
